MEALS ON WHEELS
Our service is one of the few independent Meals on Wheels services in the country which is run entirely by volunteers.
Our team of 150 dedicated cooks and deliverers provide healthy and nutritious meals to housebound residents of Lingfield, Dormansland, Felcourt and Crowhurst every week of the year, Monday to Thursday. All meals are freshly cooked in our designated kitchen in the Jennings Hall at the Community Centre.
On Fridays, we run a fish and chip service, delivering freshly prepared meals from the local Fish and Chip shop in Lingfield.
Meals on Wheels is not only about the food. To many of our clients, the daily contact with our friendly deliverers is the opportunity for a chat and can often be the only person they see that day.
WHO CAN APPLY?
We provide Meals on Wheels to elderly and vulnerable people who find it difficult to provide regular meals for themselves.
We also provide short term help to people who are temporarily incapacitated due to illness or accident.
When you apply, your individual needs will be assessed and we will tell you if we can help.
HOW MUCH WILL I PAY?
We strive to keep charges as low as possible and, with the help of a subsidy from Surrey County Council, our meals cost just £4.10 per day. Our Fish and Chip service costs £6.00
HOW DO I GET MEALS ON WHEELS?
We know that some people don’t like to ask for help so we do take referrals from family, friends or neighbours of elderly or housebound people who may benefit from Meals on Wheels.  We currently have a few vacancies so can take new applications with no waiting list.
 If you, or someone you know, would like to apply for Meals on Wheels, please contact us by calling 07504 481289  or 01342 843098.
